Question

A rectangle has an area of 25 square feet. A similar rectangle has an area of 240 square feet. What is the ratio of the areas of these similar rectangles?

Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio of the areas of these similar rectangles is 5:48.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us convert area into fraction.

Ratio of the area of first rectangle to the area of second rectangle = $\frac{Area of first rectangle}{Area of second rectangle}$

= $\frac{25}{240}$

$= \frac{5}{48}$

Hence, the ratio of the areas of these similar rectangles is 5:48.
